I've decided to change service to the local ISP, an outfit called Omsoft.
Service is due to switch over on Monday, March 12.
The ISP is suggesting it might be necessary to change the DSL modem, and
I wondered if:
A) it's really true?
B) if it is true, what is a good choice of modem?
The old Cayman 3546 has worked faithfully for over ten years, and very
little I read about DSL modems suggests new is better than old. Indeed,
it appears there aren't many suppliers of new modems left.
Any thoughts appreciated, please reply quickly!

By Antonio Villas-Boas
The Galaxy S9 is a bit like the weather report in a sunny state or
country: another boring, beautiful day.
It's yet another fantastic smartphone from Samsung, but it's not
especially exciting.
The new features Samsung announced at Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona felt like the mundane "waterskiing squirrel" story of a news
station that has no news to report. AR Emoji? Waterskiing
squirrel. Variable-aperture camera? Double-backflip waterskiing
squirrel.
